Another dufuss to add to Obama's team.
Vote is along party line. It's too bad as he has demonstrated in his appearance before the committee he is not qualified for this position. Democratic senators ahould had voted for what is good for the Country instead of just being lemmings following the party leadership. Obama should have withdraw the nomination and send up a new candidate. Qualification should come first.
awful. Lew is no better.
